Bush says support the troops & fly the flag on the 4th!

[orleans]

yeah, that's his idea of showing support.

"This Fourth of July, I ask you to find a way to thank the men and women defending our freedom by flying the flag, sending letters to our troops in the field or helping the military family down the street." http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB2CX3TIAE.html

LOTTA SUPPORT HERE REPUKIES:

"The House Appropriations Committee estimated the overall budget shortfall at $2.6 billion, with about $1.1 billion of that already being addressed in a spending bill for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A Bush administration official, who asked not to be identified, estimated the overall budget shortfall at around $2.1 billion.

Democrats have sought additional money for veterans health care programs for several months and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid chided Republicans for repelling such moves."

(veterans don't need that extra money. JUST FLY YOUR FLAG DAMNIT!)

2. I really thought he was gonna say it...

I thought the idiot was gonna say "and please, support our military by purchasing them some bullet proof vests.."

I mean, he did say that the "Iraqi Security Forces would be equipped and trained..."

[LiberalFighter]

13. Define equipped and trained

[napi21]

3. Oh, I always support the troops, and I always fly the flag,

but I sure don't support this idiot we hae acting as King!

Give it up George! You're history! Lame Duck is too kind of a title!

4. Did he tell people to go shopping?

[AuntiBush]

5. And today Congress Looted the Rest of our Social Security Treasury

in another multi-billion dollar bill for the mid-west transportation, etc. bill. Parents have to send money to the kids over there just for body armor and all * can talk about it the Iraq troop, not a word about ours.

And about that flag thing: Another way to divide us - betcha.
We're right on top of the 4th, too. Think about it.

REPUKES should wave their pens over the "sign-up" forms, agreed!

6. The Chimp is thinking:

"I'm a veteran and I don't need any help, therefore all the veterans don't need that money !"

7. Great Picture!!!!

14. I'm sorry but if I fly the flag on 4th it won't be to support the troops..

it will be to celebrate our Independence.

As far as I am concerned when gw*dipshit asks the public to support the troops that isn't what he wants. He wants everyone to fly their flags, go shopping, etc. so that it shows we support the jerk in the WH.

If he wants the troops to be supported then he should stop diverting our taxes for his friends and use it for the intended purpose in Iraq.

[XemaSab]

15. Too bad no troops will see it this 4th

'cause they're all in Iraq!

17. Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore

John Prine is just so relevant! :)


Oh but your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
It's already overcrowded
From your dirty little wars.
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
No matter what the reason is for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

18. Yep,Chimp has been in contact with the Chinese--BIG shipment coming in...

Don't worry Murikans,the Chinese will work those sweat shops 24/7 to make sure you can get a cheap ass flag from Walmart.

[kentuck]

20. Since most people fly the flag on the 4th anyway....?

Will they rationalize that as support for Bush and his policies in Iraq?

[LizW]

21. I would, anyway

I'm flying it because I love this country, and for my neighbors' and friends' sons and daughters who are serving.

I'm flying it for the people who sat silently and solemnly in that audience last night, and for those recovering at Walter Reed and elsewhere, for those choking in the dust and heat of Iraq, and for the families waiting in agony for word of their loved ones.

Screw you, Bush.
